And a big hand to the forever tasteful Vassar Clements . . . RIP .

[@braddemoss8208]

Vassar Clements was an absolute master!

[@jmartin9785]

​@@braddemoss8208Absolutely !

[@trapboi1111]

Yep, Uncle Josh. He is the one who introduced the Dobro in Bluegrass. The way Josh n all other dobro players play it (I jst call it Bluegrass Dobro Playing) Josh was inspired by Earl Scruggs three finger picking on the Banjo n started using that technique on the Dobro itself. God I love Bluegrass.

Awesome! I'm in awe! I'm a huge Jerry Douglas fan, so grateful to see the man he credits with his skill: Josh Graves.

[@horrorskopf]

So great!

[@user-tf4bx3hf1u]

Just great👍

[@rockinredneck57]

After watching this I'm afraid I can only give this an A+ grade. This was flat out fun to watch and listen to. Tip Your Hat to the Teacher indeed! (A little Marty Stuart addition there) What a joy this is! It should be on a continuous loop at the Hall of Fame.

[@docmartin3344]

thanks for posting this jason,, this was priceless stuff,, and that kid on the guitar ain't half bad if he practices some.

[@merlynschutterle7242]

This is as good as it ever will get since two of them are gone now.

[@kimyoung5768]

[@jwills8606]

Yes. Those damned cigarettes. So many gone because of them.

[@scotty2tone]

@@jwills8606lived to 77, you can do worse

[@calebsmith7515]

I have never seen an 8 string dobro

[@irvinslagter8298]

My goodness, I didn't hardly recognize Jerry Douglas, he's gained a few pounds since then, but still got the talent, only better.

[@chuckyufarley2999]

Jerry's had a lot of different looks over the span of his career. If you could put versions of him from every 6-8 years from 1975 to now in a line-up, you be hard pressed to think it was all the same guy. He's really unrecognizable here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqqci4OOYp12i6c

[@scotty2tone]

Hey buddy, its happens to all of us lol. I wish i looked like how I was in my 20s

[@dustymiller8284]

Jerry Douglas if fantastic here. But he only got better. His Tranatlantic work was breathtaking.

[@INDYOSKARS]

That´s Hank Williams´s Martin guitar Marty´s playing and owns.

[@dustymiller8284]

D45

[@clawhammer704]

I didn't know Hank Sr. had a D-45. I'd had seen him on stage with D-28s and some Gibsons in pictures. I even have a picture of him playing a hollow body electric, and a fiddle.

[@kimyoung5768]

That D-45 was also owned by Johnny Cash and Marty got the guitar from him in a trade, it's a great story actually. A musician/luthier friend who has worked on that guitar says it is one of the best sounding guitars he ever played.

back in the days when men were men and music was music

And Women were>>>>>>>Glad of it !🙀

[@dondoyle8474]

That guitar came from Taft California

Jason:Can you give a dobro lesson teaching ways of playing over a C, D, A, E & F chord without baring the chord, rather playing individual notes that will work when the band is playing the above chords. Love your lessons.

[@renoman]

Thanks Richard. Not sure I completely understand what you're asking. You want to play in chords besides G but you don't want to bar across the whole fret? This is a very tricky question. Assuming we are talking about using G tuning. It can be done but it works better for some chords than others. You'll be able to play more open notes in C or D but you'll still have to bar the strings at some point (at least partially). As for other chords you'll be limited because of the lack of open notes you can hit. You can pick out individual notes in any key without barring the whole fret but it wouldn't be very practical or sound too good. I can't speak much for more modern styles but Josh would definitely bar the frets on chords you mentioned above. You just have to use partial chords, slides, and slants to get the melody notes you want. You could always tune the dobro differently to play open notes in other keys but that'd be a lot of work as well. Not sure if that helps answer your question or not.

Jerrys skin pigment on left hand knuckles to tips of fingers is very odd. 14:50

[@renoman]

he obviously has vitiligo. It is very common. I have it as well. It is a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches
